FOODEX Japan 2019

Japan remains one of the best markets for U.S. exporters of food products with almost $12 billion worth of agricultural and fish products exported to Japan in 2016. Japan is the fourth largest export market for both agricultural exports from the U.S. in 2015. As Japan relies on imports for much of its food, the US was the leading food supplier with 23.2% of the import market share in 2016.

As Japanese agriculture continues to decline, there will be an increased emphasis on imported food. The Japanese gross domestic product of $4.884 trillion makes this one of the largest economies in the world. Japanese consumers demand high-quality products, with 14.2% of consumer expenditures going towards retail food, compared to U.S. consumers who spend 6.4%, all while consuming on average 1,000 fewer calories per day.
